Chapter 1259: The Pain of Losing a Child

Since the closed door of Du Mansion was broken by the joint visit of Wang Wei and others, the next day or two was naturally an endless stream of visitors. Du Shiyi met with some of the people who did have a relationship with him, and those who came purely to find out the news were still turned away. However, everyone who saw him went out happily, which made those dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren who were sending people to pay close attention to the movements of Du Mansion while trying their best to gain connections.

Although Du Shiyi himself claims to abstain, he can use his strong influence, maybe others will naturally follow his wishes!

So, when there were only two days left between the days of the election, the clans who had been looking at each other to see who had the best patience finally poured out. This time, everyone went into battle shirtless, and did not send their sons to the front as cannon fodder. When King Yi met King Feng, when King Nanyang faced King Sheng, and when King Xin saw King Liang, sparks immediately flew between them, as if they would go off anytime and anywhere. But at this moment, an ox cart that looked ordinary stopped at the door of Du's house, and down from above was a beautiful young woman holding a child and dressed in plain clothes. Seeing that this was obviously a mother and son couple, everyone immediately shifted their attention.

Is that...... Princess Quang Binh!

Although after the death of Yang Guozhong and Yang Yuyao, the titles of the ladies of the Yang family were stripped away, and the Yang brothers were also taken away, and the Yang family has declined, but the appearance of Princess Guangping at the door of Du's house immediately reminded people of the rumored scene that happened in Ma Weiyi. It was Du Shiyi who picked up Li Puppet, the eldest son of King Guangping, and claimed the injustice of the crown prince and the two kings. It is precisely because Du Shiyi is the advocate of building a line of grievances in the East Palace of Zhaoxue, King Nanyang has always believed that he is the most likely candidate for the new monarch, after all, Du Shiyi has ignored the princess Cui and the sons of the king of Guangping since his return, and has not had any special closeness.

But isn't that a foreshadowing for the current election of a virtuous king and a new king? Li Puppet is young, not to mention the young sovereign minister, it is the best choice to usurp the throne!

Princess Cui of Guangping also noticed the gaze that focused on herself, including speculation, unkindness, and naked malice. She instinctively pulled Li Puppet tightly to her side, but she still walked quickly towards the door of Du's house. But before she could come to the door, she was stopped by Li Heng, the king of Feng, who came up diagonally.

"Cui's, such a big thing, are you planning to intervene in the same way? Don't forget, the current Yang family, no matter who you are, you can crush it, if you want to fight for something that doesn't belong to you, then in the end, you will only be pressed into powder by one finger! ”

Hearing this undisguised threat, Cui Shi couldn't help but shudder. However, she just hid Li Puppet behind her, and then raised her head and said without humility or arrogance: "I know what I want to do, and I ask my uncle to get out of the way, I want to see Du Xiangguo!" ”

If this wasn't at the door of Du Shiyi's house, in the face of such a woman who didn't know what to do, Feng Wang Li Heng couldn't wait to slap her, but now she could only suppress her anger, but she had no intention of giving way at all. And he kept silent, and Li Qi, the king of Sheng next to him, also stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Cui, you can keep the position of Princess Guangping, you should be thankful, you are still ambitious?" Don't you look at how old your eldest son is, you can see that he is good and bad, and he is worthy of the title of virtuous king? ”

In the face of the laughter and cynicism coming from all around, Cui Shi bit his lip and suddenly tore his throat and shouted: "Please inform Du Xiangguo, I have a token from Aunt Taizhen that I want to pass on to him!" ”

This sound changed the color of the kings who had come here today. It is no secret that Du Shiyi and Yang Taizhen, the princess of Qianshou, are commensurate with each other's master and apprentice, and now Cui's has played such an emotional card, obviously planning to go all the way to the dark! Although many people secretly sneered at Cui's incompetence and delusional thinking, it was only a short time before they saw someone coming out of the Du house, it was Du Shiyi's son Du at any time, and I don't know how many people were stunned in their hearts. The people reluctantly made way for Azler, but Choi grabbed his eldest son and hurried to meet him.

"Princess Guangping, my father-in-law told you that I would like to use the Taizhen lady as a shield for everything, please say bluntly, what are your plans to come today?"

In front of everyone's eyes, Cui's eyes were red, and he suddenly knelt on the ground with weak knees, and pulled his son to kneel down together, and took out a sachet from his arms tremblingly: "This is what Aunt Taizhen's mother gave me by hand embroidery, I don't ask for anything else, I just ask Du Xiangguo to protect my family!" Just last night, Saburo ...... San Lang was suffocated to death by someone covering his mouth and nose in his sleep! These days, I don't know how many poisons have been detected with a silver needle, but I still can't save my child! ”

Faced with this sudden news, there was an uproar all around. And Azler was also taken aback, he stared at Cui Shi who was crying like a tearful man for a long time, and saw that the thin young man on the side pursed his lips, although he was in tears but refused to let go, he couldn't help but think of his lonely childhood. He didn't speak, just bent down and hugged Li Puppet, and then said, "Please Princess Guangping come with me." ”

Tsui looked up in disbelief and saw Azler turn and walk towards the gate, and she immediately realized what this meant, and with great difficulty, she staggered to her feet, and staggered after him. It wasn't until these two people disappeared into the door of Du's mansion that the crowd waiting outside to see them completely stirred. Li Qi, the king of Sheng, was not a very city government, and almost asked in a roaring voice: "How could this happen suddenly, if I let me know who did it, I would have to kill him!" ”

"This is strange, Princess Guangping has a dead son, why are you jumping so fast?" Feng Wang Li Heng looked down on King Sheng and King Shou when they relied on Concubine Wu Hui and behaved in front of their father Li Longji every day, but at this time, he immediately stabbed a sentence, and when he saw that King Sheng Li Qi was suddenly angry, he said meaningfully, "Besides, who knows that it must be an outsider who plots to kill the son of the Cui family?" Don't say anything nonsense like tiger poison doesn't eat children, think about what our great-grandmother Empress Zetian did at the beginning, everyone knows it in their hearts. If you sacrifice one and you can lift the other, why not! ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Pudeng, the king of Yi who wanted to persuade the two of them, gasped, and no longer dared to speak rashly. Having said that, seeing the scene of Cui's hugging and crying just now, there are still many other people who don't believe that it was Cui's mother, who ruthlessly killed her young son, thus paving the way for the eldest son, and looked at these princes and grandsons who visited Du's house with obvious suspicion. After all, Cui Shi said that he found out that someone had poisoned and assassinated him a few months ago, but in the end, he couldn't prevent it, so it can be seen that these royal filths are really a lot!

Cui Shi only cared about keeping up with Azler in front of her, and she couldn't even remember how many doors she had entered, how many turns she had turned, and when she finally saw the open door of the study, she couldn't help but stop in a daze, and only when she noticed that Azler had already entered the door, did she speed up her pace again. As soon as she entered the door, she saw that Azler was holding Li Puppet and standing next to Du Shiyi and saying something. Although Du Shiyi couldn't see joy or anger on her face, she instinctively felt that the other party did not dislike or dissatisfaction when she turned her gaze to her. Since losing her husband and almost breaking up with her mother's family, Cui's has reached an extremely sensitive point to kindness and malice, and she can't help but weaken her knees and tears for a while.

"Du Xiangguo, I really don't have any delusions about the throne, I'm just afraid that those uncles and uncles who are obsessed with power, as well as those uncles of my grandfather's generation, will harm my family! Saburo ...... Saburo is gone, and I don't want to lose this only son again! ”

Seeing Cui Shi kneeling on the ground like this, Du Shiyi looked at the child in Azler's arms with tears rolling in his eyes, and couldn't help but hesitate. After so many years, he has long ceased to act according to his personal likes and dislikes, and he has long passed the age of being soft-hearted, and the Yang family is worth maintaining for him, that is, a jade slave, that's all. However, thinking of the innocent death of a toddler in infancy, he was silent for a long time before motioning to Azler to put down the puppet in his hand. After rubbing his head, he asked with a pleasant face: "What do you think of what your aunt just said?" ”

Li Puppet didn't expect Du Shiyi to ask himself. He glanced at his heartbroken mother in a daze, and finally whispered: "My uncles are very fierce, and my grandmother is also cold to me, only my aunt protects me...... It's all because I can't sleep, A-Niang comes to coax me, and A-brother will be killed, I can't make A-Niang sad anymore! ”

Du Shiyi listened to these words, but did not speak. He motioned for Azler to hug Li Puppet first, and then got up and came to Cui's face, and after considering his words, he said: "Since you have taken out your Taizhen aunt to beg me, then I can give you a choice." I can shelter Li Puppet, but he can no longer be the eldest son of King Quang Binh, and you will no longer be the princess of Quang Binh. From now on, you will live a peaceful and prosperous life, and if you want to remarry, you must not remarry, but you will not be able to go back to Chang'an, and you will not be able to see your mother and other relatives again. Think about it yourself, can you agree to these conditions to me! ”

To Du Shiyi's surprise, Cui's consideration turned out to be quite short-lived. She looked down almost for a moment before she looked up and said, "I promise!" ”

After a pause, Cui Shi gritted his teeth and said: "A-Niang left me and Dalang Saburo's mother and son at a critical moment, and even ignored my sister, only knowing that she was fleeing for her life, after I returned to Chang'an, she never came to visit me, the kindness of mother and daughter has long been cut off, and the rest of the Yang family can't care about the life or death of our mother and son." As for my mother-in-law, as well as the other princes and grandchildren, I can't wait for my son to die! Du Xiangguo, I only hope to live the second half of my life peacefully with Da Lang, he will no longer be the emperor's great-grandson, and I will no longer be the royal granddaughter-in-law! ”

"Okay." Du Shiyi nodded slightly, reached out and took the sachet that Cui Shi dropped on the ground, and then said in a low voice, "You lose these relatives who are better than not, I will give you back a real relative." ”
